It poured yesterday in Toronto. Ryan Gosling was walking down Yorkville, a cup of coffee in his hand, wearing a leather jacket. I was shooting etalk at the time at Sassafraz and I'm too lazy to run out there to get soaked for him. But people were following, running out of local shoppes to meet him. Full Story

Written by Sasha TIFF is finally over and if I hear someone say “TIFF’ again I might have to sew their mouth shut. Sorry, it’s been a long ass week and I’m feeling fragile.

Because as I’ve always said, despite my disdain for the marbleisation of her face, I do enjoy Gran’s acting. I do think she is very, very talented. Full Story

Today is Blue Valentine Day at TIFF. He’ll be on junket, the screening is tonight, and he arrived just in time this morning at 5am, suit in hand, hair combed, shades on, and white socks. Some of you will be bitching about the white socks. Um, look at him. All of him. Do we really need to be talking about white socks? Really??? As for Blue Valentine – I’m not sure if they’ve tweaked it since Cannes but the version I saw in Cannes I loved. Full Story
